EXPLAIN. MR. TRENHOLME!
J. D. Trenholme is another mayoralty candidate who
has to explain. There was no insistent demand, in fact
there was NO real demand, for him to offer himself as
a candidate. From a civic standpoint he has heretofore
|§§n only mildly interested in Seattle. On most issues involved he has been non-committal, or nowhere. He is a democrat in national politics,
flilch Is *H right, but he evidently doesn't understand the non-partisan idea. His request, made to the secretary of the minimum wage com
mission, for a contribution to help maintain democratic headquarters, indicates that he has not graduated from the old school of politics.

SEND THE NEWS OUT
TO CZAR OF RUSSIA
\\ c used to call these citi/en-soldier boys "la<l_v killer-" and—-mile.
I lie -mile i- now a -«>1» A SOB IN (. (H.OKAI)O, where women and children are
ridden down and sabered l>y mounted militiamen.
We taught our "gallant" citizen-soldier the art of war. We put on him the uniform
>t force We gave him the weapon- of death.
'Ihen we turned him over to (iRFKD to act a< policeman for PRIVILEGE, to
shoot down the wage- of the oppressed.
In 15 years the only call for our state militia has been in "labor wars,"
and in the end these soldiers have not only turned against the workers—that
was natural to expect, perhaps, because that appears to be the job of the citi
zen-soldier. But they have also turned against the wives and daughters and
bairns of the workers and in a civilized land, under orders of their officers,
have changed themselves into cruel, savage brutes.
Our newest lesson come- from Colorado. Down the streets rode these American
Cossacks who but yesterday looked at service in the state militia as a j«ke. a diversion from
the monotony of work I hey -aw only the glitter of gold lace, the flash of bavonets in
parade, the -miles that the fair give to the brave.
Today the\ hate and lust for blood and the cruelty of power nerves their arms.
The "lady killer" who won with smiles, who attracted by his plumage, has become
real.
The sons of women, .taught in the profession of war, garbed in the uni
form of force, now war upon women—hungry, needy, desperate women
hungry, ill-clad, shivering little children.
